Comics Are Great! 68 – Watson and Holmes

Sherlock Holmes, Rick Leonardi, Brandon Perlow, Paul Mendoza, and more!

This time we talk with the team behind the new Watson and Holmes comic about iterating on public domain stories, new publishing strategies, and how a cartoonist might think about “acting” through their characters.

And we’re joined once again by Sharon Iverson of the Ann Arbor District Library for a nautically-themed round of book recommendations!
